There is a fundamental disconnect between the political left and the rest of the world that requires extensive investigation and dissection.\u00a0 For most people the idea of someone spending a solid portion of their time and finances helping those in dire need could only be considered a good thing.\u00a0 This is not true for the average leftist, though.\u00a0 For such activists we tend to find that good is evil and evil is good, and the upside down nature of their thinking bewilders those with normal brains.<\/p>\n
For the woke, the more you help people, the more you are hurting them (unless you hold a high place on the victimhood totem pole).\u00a0 But this juxtaposition is only part of the reason why they seem to loath YouTuber MrBeast so much.<\/p>\n
MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) has made a successful career out of engaging in philanthropy and he gets results; helping people to gain back their eyesight, saving orphanages overseas or giving poverty stricken children shoes.\u00a0 All of these efforts have for years\u00a0garnered accusations<\/a>\u00a0from the political left and their organizations of \u201cwhite savior\u201d activities.<\/p>\n They argue that the white savior trope seen in Hollywood movies (where a white man travels to desperate countries and helps non-white people get back on their feet) is an unacceptable image in our modern era of \u201cequity and inclusion.\u201d\u00a0 They claim that MrBeast is exploiting the white savior symbol as a way to elevate himself instead of simply helping others.<\/p>\n In his latest video, MrBeast showcased his program to dig 100 wells in Africa for villages with no access to clean drinking water.\u00a0 The video triggered yet another social media firestorm in which leftist activists raged about a white man \u201cpretending to help\u201d brown people while taking attention away from what they consider to be more acceptable and progressive non-profits.\u00a0 They say that brown people must be helped by brown people.\u00a0 If white people do it, there must be a darker ulterior motive.<\/p>\n In the western world access to clean water is usually a given and often taken for granted.\u00a0 Sadly, in many countries clean water is a mere dream, and lack of access holds these communities back from developing and improving their economic situation.\u00a0 Almost everything relies on water.<\/p>\n
